· Zhongshan Park, located to the northwest of Tiananmen Square in central Beijing, is a leisure park featuring the ancient Altar of Land and Grain (Shejitan).

By 1914, the altar grounds had become a public park known as the "Central Park". That park was then further renamed in 1928 after Sun Yat-Sen (Zhongshan Park), in memory of China's first revolutionary political leader who helped bring about the first republic era in 1911, which is what the park is known as today. [3] Many parks in China during that period also took on this name (see Zhongshan Park ).
